click to enlargeThe first and still the best wedding venue in the Wairarapa that springs to mind has to be Lansdowne House. Nestled in an acre and a half of beautiful grounds with soaring majestic trees, rose gardens, gazebos, waterfalls and more, Lansdowne House is a premier wedding venue that has everything a bride and groom could wish for. With its historic significance as the largest house in Masterton and its romantic beginnings, Lansdowne House has to be seen to be fully appreciated. As a wedding venue it is licensed for 150 people and boasts a huge ballroom that seats more than 120 guests comfortably.
Constructed on the site of New Zealand’s first commercial vineyard, Lansdowne House is a three story ‘tudor’ mansion of some 12000 square feet, built in the style of a grand English country estate. The building boasts the best of English and New Zealand building materials. The wood work is hand selected, native Rimu and Totara with all the mullioned lead light windows imported from England. The grand staircase is beautifully proportioned and all the rooms, both reception and bedrooms are on a larger than life scale with 3.6 metre wood ceilings. Indeed, each of the floors amasses over 4000 square feet (370 square meters).
